Is it definitely in Australia though?

I hope not. No way I can go there

Found this, from February...

hope its in oz as i go to thailand in 3 weeks until april,hop skip and a jump from there to oz.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it will be in England in 2014 and then alternate with Australia from 2015 on.

Oh go on Brian I was on a high and you've put me on a downer now, lol

def interested

Both the Telegraph and the Sporting life (seems to be the same article quoting Blake Green) say that the WCC has been pencilled in for the weekend of 23rd of Feb 2014 for Sydney.

Nothing confirmed as yet though.

Lets hope the club are proactive on this one and get a deal and details sorted ASAP.

Skyscanner is bringing the flights for that Feb weekend out at around £750.

I'd be tempted to relive some of my backpacking adventures and price up some hostels!

Slightly off topic but there are pictures in the papers of one of the lads from One Direction (not my musical cup of tea I hasten to add) in a Roosters jersey, apparently he tweeted or whatever you call it, the image of himself at the Grand Final to his 14 million followers !!!
God, what the game over here could do with that kind of good publicity !!

Yeah its only a hop skip and a jump mate....... 8 hour flight to sydney

Gutted its in Australia, no way can I afford that. Will have to just hope for a lottery win between now and christmas.

Better than a 27 hour flight from here!!

Need to talk Walkabout in to an early opening.

Its great that's down here in Sydney next year, even better that both my teams are in it. Had a great day yesterday getting up early to watch Wigan win and then watching the Roosters win at ANZ last night. Cant believe I saw both my teams won their grand finals. Should be an interesting WCC, although not sure who I want to win.

I hope lots of Wiganers come down for it.

Steve Mascord wrote in the SMH -:

[iWe were assured mid-year that the World Club Challenge would be in Australia in February and that the previous hodge-podge organisation of the game was a thing of the post. But that announcement will be sorely tested now that Wigan and Sydney Roosters will be involved. Leeds pushed for the game to be played on these shores while big-city clubs such as Brisbane and Melbourne were the NRL teams seen as being capable of turning a profit. South Sydney were going to take the game to Perth. And the exchange rate has dropped since the decision was made. Perhaps this could be the year we get the mythical neutral venue in the Middle East or Asia. But DW Stadium, Wigan, must be firming.[/i

Would be an experience if it is played in Oz though.

Majortravel seem to be the cheapest airfares for economy tickets.

Hope they hurry up and announce it so we can get our flights and hotels booked.

Having emigrated to Melbourne last year, I was gutted that I could not be there to witness the double live, although I was up every weekend at 5am to watch on Aussie Eurosport or the radio. I'm looking forward to meeting up with my fellow Wigan fans in Aus to shout on the boys..

If anybody needs any help when booking, give me a shout for advice. Roll on the Wcc

Fair dinkum random dave!!!!!

My lowest ebb was getting up in the middle of the night to witness our not performance against Huddersfield!!!

I've loved having both the super league and nrl to watch throughout the winter here, I used to get so depressed throughout the winter, this winter has been an absolute pleasure

thank you shaun wane and the Wigan club
